Joshua 11:18-23

18Joshua waged war a long time with all these kings. 19There was not a city which made peace with the sons of Israel except 1the Hivites living in Gibeon; they took them all in battle. 202For it was of the Lord to 3harden their hearts, to meet Israel in battle in order that he might 4utterly destroy them, that they might 5receive no mercy, but that he might destroy them, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

21Then Joshua came at that time and cut off 6the Anakim from the hill country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab and from all the hill country of Judah and from all the hill country of Israel. Joshua utterly destroyed them with their cities. 22There were no Anakim left in the land of the sons of Israel; only in Gaza, in 7Gath, and in 8Ashdod some remained. 23So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the Lord had spoken to Moses, and 9Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. 10Thus the land had rest from war.
